Too often humans prefer the harder option instead of the easier one. It’s a learned behavior from experiences where the shortcut inevitably took longer in the long run. Rewind a decade ago, and that was typically the case for technology as well. Tech stacks were complex enough, early data engineers for example had to rely on a plethora of rudimentary tools, writing custom code and spinning up servers to pull any insights from data that could help their company run smoothly. Today you can do the same tasks with no code whatsoever, run your whole company with modern SaaS tools.
